My husband really wants a fiddler crab and shrimp together in my son's tank. I'm not sure how they would get along. Any thoughts?
i htink she's asking for advice on having both. not which one to get.Go with shrimp, fiddler crabs are brackish. (unless the tank is brackish)

plecoking said:I have a fiddler crab in a freshwater tank and he's doing excellent. Brackish fish are just freshwater fish who can handle a little salt, they can and will thrive in Freshwater. I'm thinking of getting some ghost shrimps too, should be interesting to see how it interacts with the rest of the fish and the crab.

he needs brackish water. spend the $10 on some marine salt and make the water brackish. the ghost shrimp will do fine in brackish water.I have a fiddler crab in a freshwater tank and he's doing excellent.
